Which list best captures common allergens that should be identified and communicated for Build-A-Drink options?

Identifying and communicating common allergens in Build-A-Drink options is about safety: customers need clear information to avoid ingredients that could trigger reactions. A broad list helps ensure people know what might be in their drink and speak up if they have allergies. Milk, nuts, gluten, soy, and citrus cover the major categories that frequently appear in beverages and flavorings. Dairy (milk) is a well-known allergen; tree nuts are a common trigger; gluten (from wheat) shows up in many flavorings and thickening agents; soy is widely used in extracts and emulsifiers; and citrus flavors or components can cause reactions for some individuals. Including these makes the labeling informative and protective, reducing risk for customers with sensitivities. The other options fall short because they omit important allergens or make an inaccurate claim. Limiting to only milk and gluten misses nuts, soy, and citrus. Focusing on only nuts ignores other common triggers. Saying allergen labeling isn’t required contradicts safety practices and regulatory expectations. Overall, listing a broad set of common allergens provides the clearest, most helpful guidance for customers building their drinks.
